In March 2011, Japan was rocked by the strongest earthquake ever recorded. This calendar-half is a tribute to the people and the motorcycle manufacturer, which always occupy an important role in the motorcycle world. The title shows the Kawasaki ZX-9R. Introduced in 1994, she was the most powerful sport bike on the market.

In the truest sense of "Spirit of motorcycling," Metzeler has decided to donate to each member of the "cubane Harlistas" MOCLA a set of motorcycle tyres. Because this club is representing the true Metzeler thoughts by its stylish V-Twin motorcycles and their maintenance. It has been the world-renowned photographer Michael Lichter, who document this with his artful shots for eternity, like here in the Metzeler Calendar 2010.
